i dont think that shiruyu can take them down right now,i mean luffy and crocodile and iva and jinbei and mr 1 and mr 2 thats just to much power for the current ppl that guard impledown,maggelan is very strong theres no doubt but i dont see him beating those guys all together,im sure they will espcape impledown and go to the marine headqurters,the only thing i dont understand is where is white beard?
i mean isnt that the arc of whitebeard vs the marines?
where is whitebeard and why they dont show what he is doing int he meanwhile,and also what about shanks? is he still fighting kaidou?

they should do an episode or 2 that expalins about those charcters....

They are simply running out of time, we dont know how far is Impel Down from Marineford and how long it takes to sail there.

Gaolers surely have very powerful and impressive fighters and Shiriyu should be at par with Magellan.

Its good to have exctiting and difficult fights in Impel Down but Luffy simply dont have time.

Not to mention there is Marine cruiser-class battleship(s) and possible vice admiral guarding it... there will be many battles before they can hope to reach sea.

I just love to see Crocodile and I like how he interracts with people and how he will fare with his ex-minions.

well time may be of little abundance but what the band of bandits do have is momentum, the whole lot of them are basically riding a huge high and thats I would say is enough to see most of reach the exit and beyond. Also without doubt they will only increase their numbers as they ascend ID.
Even tho ID have numbers and powerful fighters too but its still gonna be one of a task to stop such a tidal wave.

I hope there is some VA still lingering about just outside, would be nice to see some in action.

It is cool seeing Croc smacking around Impel Down guards like mere rag dolls I love seeing him in action! Jinbei was quite cool too, for some reason his Fishman Karate style some what reminded me of Neji Hyuga from the "Naruto series", and he is just was intimidating and fierce as I had suspected he would be. Also on the intro page (just before page 01) was that supposed to be Vivi and uh...Mr/Ms. 8 (Forgot his name)?

Bah, I forgot his name too (and I was just rewatching those eps a couple days ago), but no it's actually his wife on the cover with Vivi.

Really his wife? I thought it was just him in drag again? Igaram certainly has a...type...

Uh.... we saw Igaram's wife at the end of Alabasta, not long after Luffy defeated Crocodile. Her name's Terracotta. Recall that she was the one who cooked a huge feast for Luffy after he recovered from his battle.....

Anyways, I'd also like to see a stray VA stay behind just so we can see him in action. I kinda doubt that it would be Doberman, Onigumo or Momonga, though.... it'll probably be Strawberry or Yamakaji (and THAT'S only counting on the chance of the whole Buster Call squad being sent to fetch Ace). Heh, if the escape party really DOES have to take down a VA, I suppose that Buggy and Mr. 3 will sneak aboard the ship while the battle is raging on, unaware of the fact that they'll be taking a little trip to Marine HQ......

New to me, but only because in truth I've only gotten half past the Alabasta Arc and skipped to the Thriller Bark arc

While I do like the general idea of that, one thing I've been thinking of is - what if all the Marine ships leave / have left to escort Ace's ship? ie there's no ships left for Luffy and co to hitch a ride on.

Maybe this'll be when we get to see Jinbei do something special. I rather like the idea (for example) of the group chasing after the Marine convoy on top of a huge sea monster

Well, the possibility of seastone weapons is something that's been speculated for a long time, that's for certain..... but those particular bullets the jailors used doesn't seem to be any good against Logias, seeing as they went right through Crocodile. Maybe they were counting on the chance that he was still wearing those cuffs, perhaps?

Anyway, I'm expecting to see more anti-DF weapons in the future, as well. I'm quite sure that the marines will count on Dr. Vegapunk to create such advanced weaponry.....
